Monitoring progress and impact across project components
The Market for Village Farmers (MVF) Project aims to enhance the livelihoods of village farming households in the target provinces by facilitating their transition from semi-subsistence agriculture to market-oriented production and farming as a business. The development objective of MVF is to achieve sustainable increased returns to village farming households from increased marketed production.
The Project covers six provinces of Papua New Guinea: Western Highlands, Jiwaka, Simbu, Eastern Highlands and Morobe for the activities related to fresh produce, and East New Britain for the activities related to galip nuts. MVF targets around 25,000 farming households, benefiting approximately 125,000 people. The Department of Agriculture and Livestock (DAL) is the Project Executing Agency, while the Fresh Produce Development Agency (FPDA) is the Project Implementing Agency.
The total investment under MVF is US$ 46.8 million, financed by IFAD loan with US$25.5 million (59%), the Government of PNG with US$ 2.85 million (7%), beneficiaries with US$ 1.2 million (3%), financial institutions with US$ 4.2 million (9%), and provincial and district governments with US$ 13.0 million (28%). In addition, the Project received RPSF funds for a total of USD 732,300. The Project was implemented with the interrelated three components: Component 1- Inclusive Business Partnerships, Component 2- Supportive Value Chain Investment, and Component 3- Collective Governance and Project Management.
